Ji Chengzhi furrowed his brows and had no choice but to put his phone away again.
This was just how he was; every time you tasked him with something, it was supposed to be a simple phone call or a WeChat message, but once it was done and you asked him what it was all about, whether he’d respond or not was entirely up to his mood.
Ji Chengzhi didn’t bother with it anymore and went about his business.
Meanwhile, after taking the prescription downstairs, Ye Ning stood there, glanced at the clock hanging in the hall, and pondered for a moment before suddenly pulling out her phone and dialing a number...
"Brother Lin, I might be late getting home again tonight, could you please pick up Xiaobao for me?"
Ye Ning tried to keep her voice even and moved to a less crowded spot to avoid letting people inside catch on.
Fortunately, the person on the phone, after meeting her at the cafe that day, was no longer suspicious of her, and when he heard she had to work late again, he promptly agreed, "Okay, I’ll go pick him up shortly."
"Mm, thank you, Brother Lin."
"No need to be so polite. By the way, it’s the weekend tomorrow, and you’ll have a day off, why don’t you come over too?"
Ye Ning stood there, looking at the bustling hall behind her, and after a long while, finally nodded.
It would be nice to sit down and have a chat. It had been a long time since they had sat down and talked properly since she came back here.
Lin Yebai, hearing her agreement over the phone, was extremely pleased, and immediately gave instructions to the servant behind him, "Miss Ye will be coming over tomorrow, tidy up her room for her, and Mama Zhang, go buy some of her favorite dishes; she should be here in the morning."
Miss Ye was Ye Ning’s identity at Tang Garden, nominally the cousin of a distant relative of Lin Yebai’s.
The servants in the garden were thrilled to hear the news!
Miss Ye was finally coming over?
That was wonderful news. Due to the car accident, the mood in the garden had been grim these past few days, with everyone barely daring to breathe. Now that Miss Ye was coming, they could all sigh in relief.
So Mama Zhang and the other servants quickly got to work.
Assistant Xiaojin also heard the news and glanced at the time. It was almost time to pick up the children from kindergarten, so he drove over, "Sir, will Master Xiaobao also be staying here tonight?"
Lin Yebai nodded, "Aning said she would be busy until very late tonight, so let’s not send the child over."
Xiaojin, seeing his usually stern master finally smiling, felt his mood lift and couldn’t help but suggest, "Sir, since such an opportunity is rare, why don’t you take Miss An out? We received an invitation to the International Jewelry Appraisal Congress a few days ago, asking you to be a judge, and it coincides with this time."
The International Jewelry Appraisal Congress?
Lin Yebai’s brush paused mid-character on the rice paper...
This suggestion was quite intriguing!
When Secretary Gao went to the kindergarten, the child was already gone, so he asked a teacher there who said that the child’s mother had called, asking a Mr. Lin to pick the child up.
Wasn’t that Lin Yebai?
Secretary Gao was puzzled and quickly pulled out his phone to make a call, "Young Master, Xiaobao has already been picked up."
